The scariest scenario of the global warming doomsayers has been the idea that the melting Arctic ice cap would put coastal cities underwater. For example:
‘Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice,’ reported the BBC back in 2007. ‘Their latest modelling indicates that northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years.’
Professor Wieslaw Maslowski from the Department of Oceanography of the US Navy predicted an ice-free Arctic Ocean by the summer of 2013.
Maslowski added that his prediction was on the conservative side, too: “Our projection of 2013 for the removal of ice in summer is not accounting for the last two minima, in 2005 and 2007. So given that fact, you can argue that may be our projection of 2013 is already too conservative.”
There are plenty more such forecasts:

gloBULL warming causes record ice flow
You forgot .... If These Trends Continue & Further Studies Needed!
“You forgot .... If These Trends Continue & Further Studies Needed!”
Yes I did and I thank you for being so observant. :-)
If you plug your atmosphere efficient car or truck into an electrical outlet to recharge it, where does the electricity come from? Dollars to doughnuts it comes from a power plant using fossil fuels to generate electricity. So, what are you accomplishing?
LGB FJB
Come on Man, we have known since the 1970’s that all our Pollution from burning fossil fuels was going to plunge the world into a cataclysmic Ice Age, it was but for Magic that it turned around and began Cooking the Planet and All life on it in 1983. Maybe the Magic has worn off??
“the idea that the melting Arctic ice cap would put coastal cities underwater.”
WRONG. Melting ocean ice doesn’t raise sea level. Only melting land ice can do that.
Many scientists have attempted to estimate when the Arctic will be "ice-free", among them Peter Wadhams who in 2014 predicted that by 2020 "summer sea ice [will] disappear,"[25][26] Wadhams and several others have noted that climate model predictions have been overly conservative regarding sea ice decline.[2][27] A 2013 paper suggested that models commonly underestimate the solar radiation absorption characteristics of wildfire soot.[28] In 2007, Professor Wieslaw Maslowski from the Naval Postgraduate School, California, predicted removal of summer ice by 2013;[29] subsequently, in 2013, Maslowski predicted 2016 ±3 years.[30] A 2006 paper predicted "near ice-free September conditions by 2040".[31] Overland and Wang (2013) investigated three different ways of predicting future sea ice levels.[32] The IPCC AR5 (for at least one scenario) estimates an ice-free summer might occur around 2050.[5] The Third U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA), released May 6, 2014, reports that the Arctic Ocean is expected to be ice free in summer before mid-century. Models that best match historical trends project a nearly ice-free Arctic in the summer by the 2030s.[33][34] However, these models do tend to underestimate the rate of sea ice loss since 2007. Based on the outcomes of several different models, Overland and Wang (2013) put the early limit for a sea ice free summer Arctic near 2040.[32] Professor James Anderson of Harvard University envisions the Arctic Ice gone by the early 2020s. "The chance that there will be any permanent ice left in the Arctic after 2022 is essentially zero," he said in June 2019.[35] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_ice_pack
And the greenhouse gas that makes all this possible? Water vapor. The cycle of freezing, thawing, evaporation and condensation all takes place within a fairly narrow range, and astonishingly, most of that is confined to temperatures under which life on earth has evolved. Carbon dioxide does not, cannot, perform the same or anywhere near the same effect as water vapor in the environment that exists in what is commonly known as the biosphere, that level of the atmosphere and bodies of waters in which living creatures live and thrive.

If Global Warming fails to remove Nasty Nancy’s
new millions dollar mansion which sits on
Jupiter Island (Florida); there’s always the
possibility that the common hurricane might.
What are the chances? If not eliminate the
structure completely, at the least do
serious damage to the estate; even with that
wall she will surely build in order to keep
out the riffraff.
Interesting, those who rule continue to ignore their own
ASSumptions. Gore, ‘illary, O’Biden, the half breed.
The empty heads found here can easily
substitute for water wings should they be needed.
A blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Hey, all the best to you and family, V K.
Hey, it’s a short 30 minute drive from Jupiter Island to Mar a Lago. But Nanzi a dark galaxy away in terms of the common sense and integrity of our favorite President.
It has been decades since I realized that it is completly useless to rationally discuss the issue with these people. In this, they are incorruptable and unchangeable. To them it is an emotion and a religion.
It is was so frustrating to me, then when I realized that it was useless to argue with them, the frustration left me.
When you realize in an argument with them, as you would near the goalpost of factual support for the rational position, they would simply move that goal post not merely further back, but someone different altogether.
I have found that ridicule, hard ridicule, unavoidable, unassailable, spot-on-target ridicule is devastating to these people. Not all. But some.
I hate being incivil, but that is a rule for a rational world, and this one sometimes seems to get less rational by the day.
You know, there really should be an authoritative book on exactly an intelligent people, the Japanese, allowed their military to totally take over the country, which led to their expansion into China, Korea, and Pearl Harbor.
In my quick scan of Google, I could find no such book.
Same goes for Germany and Venezuela. Americans need to see through the eyes of people whose lives and freedoms were totally destroyed by the leaders they let take control.
